Koigu ~ A Brand New Shipment Plus Project Ideas, Ideas, Ideas!
THAT IS THREE IDEAS!
We just received a glorious restock of Koigu’s KPPPM (Painter's Palette Premium Merino)! Koigu is arguably one of the OG-est of hand-painted yarns and its influence is undeniable. This incredible, hand-painted, 100% Merino wool fingering weight yarn offers a vast range of brilliant, variegated shades that lend themselves to absolutely stunning projects, like shawls, scarves and socks. We absolutely adore the Koigu Linen Stitch Scarf, Barb's Koigu Ruffle Scarf and the Stay on Baby Booties, all shown using Koigu KPPPM -- and we have samples of all three of those in the shop!
The Koigu Linen Stitch Scarf requires three skeins of Koigu to achieve a similar effect shown here; choose skeins that when combined utilize as many different colors as possible. Our sample utilizes a skein that is mostly pinks, a skein that has loads of blues and another skein that is primarily yellow and green. The magic of the linen stitch is that it'll blend all of those varying colors harmoniously.
Barb's Koigu Ruffle Scarf uses two skeins of Koigu worked lengthwise and has always been one of our favorite shop models. It's ffortless to style, and TRUST US when we tell you that you'll receive zillions of compliments Beyond adorable.
These Stay-On Baby Booties require one skein and the ribbed cuff and tie help them stay on even the most active of little feet. Little ties slipped through a row of eyelets keep these booties on, even during a good kick! We like the simplicity of twisted cord or crocheted chain ties, but you can embellish them with beautiful ribbons to bump up the “awwww” factor at baby showers.
